Tall ship Denis Sullivan, on her way to Port Huron, MI, should be passing by Downtown in the next few minutes. |

Sorry but this brings back bad memories of the tri-centennial parade. What a dud that was. I was expecting something like the bicentennial flotilla in NY harbour. Instead there was one ship about every 15 minutes. |

Tomorrow evening is the Annual dinner of the Marine Historical Society of Detroit at the Seaway Terminal in Port Huron, and we are happy that even one 3 master might be on the premises for the occasion. |

The_rock- Sorry to threadjack, but the train loco that you asked about at Fort Wayne is not there. No one I asked seemed to know what I was talking about when I inquired, either. I will continue to look for you until I get an answer, though! |

Many thanks, PlyRes for the update on the old zoo train. I found out last week that if you google "Glancy Train Modular Club", you will see photos of the old rusting-away locomotive taken in what is described as the "Detroit Historical Storage Area" which I had assumed was located at Fort Wayne. So I will contact the folks at the DHS ( beginning with Bob Cosgrove) and I am sure I can find out where the storage area is located. And congrats on winning jjaba's latest trivia contest. I took both of those photos, and excused myself from the contest, so I should really share in the million dollar prize that I assume jjaba will be sending you. But give my share to Ms. Ply. |
